These foolish people have no knowledge of the Hadiths, nor have they understood the meaning of the Quran (Umm al-Kitab).
In this couplet, the poet takes a sharp and candid aim at dogmatic, superficial people who pose as authorities without having real understanding. He laments that these shallow minds neither know the compassionate wisdom of sacred traditions nor grasp the true, beating heart of holy scripture. It is a timeless reminder that true faith and wisdom reside in deep insight, not in loud, unearned arrogance.
